I would definitely put &quot;Targets&quot; and &quot;The Black Room&quot; (in which he plays three roles really--two brothers, then one of them pretending to be the other). Given how good some of his TV stuff was (&quot;The Lark&quot;, for example), it&#39;s too bad he never got an Emmy nomination. I have the &#39;62 version of &quot;Arsenic&quot; on VHS if you want to come over and see it.Gord Shrivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-62406061062384889882009-12-01T17:08:54.800-05:002009-12-01T17:08:54.800-05:00Yeah, that&#39;s right.

There is an audio recording of &quot;Arsenic and Old Lace&quot; with Karloff floating around that was done with the Broadway cast for radio - it gives a great sense of what his performance must have been like. Two performances that I would probably have in my top ten are Gravelle from &quot;Charlie Chan at the Opera&quot; and John Ellman from &quot;The Walking Dead.&quot;wayhiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15210458874431231007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-40684794273042481932009-11-25T18:25:56.132-05:002009-11-25T18:25:56.132-05:00What about Byron Orlock, from Targets?
